Iran and Russia Row over Nuclear Plant

Iran and Russia are disagreeing over when the Bushehr nuclear power plant will start operating. Iranian officials are saying that the plant will be completed in two months and will start shortly after that.
Russia is building the plant in Iran and says it isn't likely to start this year. There have been delays and disputes over payments between the Russians and Iran.

The Bushehr power plant is part of Iran's public nuclear energy programme.
Fuel for the plant will be supplied to Iran by Russia. As such it is separate from the international controversy over Iran developing enrichment facilities, which some fear will lead to Iran developing a nuclear weapons capability.
